With iOS 11 the ability to use the native camera of iOS appeared to be able to scan QR codes without installing third-party apps.
You can try this function, when you finish reading the news, opening your device's camera and focusing on the QR codes that appear in the image that heads this article.
But it seems that with this functionality a bug has been detected that is added to the list of existing ones.
A new bug in the camera when scanning QR codes
Although some are unaware, with iOS 11 you can scan QR codes.
You just have to point directly to the QR code with the camera's native App.
This functionality saves us from having to download third-party applications and saves us some space.
Apple has thus eliminated all competition in this type of application.
But yes, as you read, while we wait for the release of iOS 11.3 or now iOS 12,a new bug has appeared on camera when scanning QR codes.
This time it has been discovered by Infosec that it has found a way to trick the QR code scanner.
What is the bug?
When you scan a QR code with the iOS camera, a notification appears at the top of the screen.
This notification indicates the web page to which it will redirect us.
But, it seems that it could actually take us to a completely different website than the one on the notification.
On the Infosec website, we can see a GIF of an example showing the bug in the camera when scanning QR codes.
